Subject: Where do I find Paul's death in Rome? |
Bible Note: Dear Emmaus: The extra information seems interesting, although I must confess I only glanced through it. Truth is, I don't know if I can trust that information, or if it is useful. Notice that the questioner asked specifically: "(In) what books in the bible would I find what happened ...?". I wonder why it was not simply "Where would I find information about what happened ...?". This person seems to place information from the Bible in a special category. I would like to get a little taste for the tradition that values non-Biblical information along with Biblical information. What if the person had asked, "In what books in the Bible would I find what happened to Mary next?" Is it enough to say that that information is not in the Bible? Or can we with confidence present other information from outside of the Bible? |
